In AFK Journey, players are transported back to the magical world of Esperia. They recruit numerous heroes, take on powerful foes, and earn rewards through in-game actions and idle (AFK) mechanics. The combat system in AFK Journey has been revamped in the Song of Strife update, adding new abilities such as environmental traps and precision-timed ultimate moves.
The new season of AFK Journey, featured in the Song of Strife update, follows the player’s journey as Magister Merlin. Teaming up with a mysterious young companion, players venture into a new desert region to investigate rumors of a false Merlin roaming the area. They must work with the desert’s Mauler tribe to uncover the truth and participate in the tribe’s Warsong Festival. Additionally, two new characters, Alsa and Soren, join the roster of playable heroes. Alsa is a mage specializing in earth-based magic, while Soren is a fierce rogue with valuable knockback abilities.
The Song of Strife update also introduces new features such as the seasonal progression system called Magic Charms. These charms provide heroes with stat bonuses and special effects, but they are only effective during the current season. Players can acquire charms through a new PvE mode called Dura’s Trials, where they can also earn resources for Magic Charms. Each season in AFK Journey brings unique seasonal skills that can be unlocked and enhanced by leveling up heroes.
Another exciting addition is the Supreme Arena, where players can compete against fellow Magisters to climb the ranks. Players can strategically use special deployment tiles on the battlefield to gain an advantage over their opponents.
To access the Song of Strife update and future seasons, players need to reach Resonance Level 240, clear all AFK Stages, and complete the quest “The Last Leg.” AFK Journey is available for free on Windows PCs via the official website and on iOS and Android devices through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Overall, the Song of Strife update for AFK Journey brings a wealth of new content and features to enhance players’ gaming experience. With regular updates planned for the future, AFK Journey promises to provide an ever-evolving landscape for players to explore and excel in.
